Text Formatting ⇒ Custom Counter for Subsection Heading

[TehHO]

Hi there guys!

I have this document, where I have not fiddled with the section/subsection count. So it numbers the sections like this

Code: Select all

1 section
  1.1 subsection
  1.2 subsection 

2 section 
  2.1 subsection
  2.2 subsection

Now, is there any way what I can turn this numbering into something like this:

Code: Select all

1 section
  1.a subsection
  1.b subsection 

2 section 
  2.a subsection
  2.b subsection

I'm new to LaTex so I'm hoping to get some advice here!

Cheers!

One single line in the document preamble will do.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\thesubsection}{\thesection.\alph{subsection}}

Best regards and welcome to the board
